Lionel MESSI available for World Cup Qualifiers!

The game against Athletic Bilbao over the weekend left MESSI with various knocks and Barcelona wanted him to undergo various medical examinations as a precaution. After undergoing medical tests it has been confirmed that MESSI will be flying to Argentina along with MASCHERANO today and will arrive sometime early tomorrow morning. It has not been confirmed as of yet if he will start or come off the bench for Argentina’s first match against Uruguay. As always, we will keep you guys up-to-date.

Two other nines of note who I think left Argentina prematurely are Lucas Boye and Ezequiel Ponce. They have wasted last season but Ponce is at Granada and doing well in what is a fairly poor team.

Players like Ascacibar who is also a very good passer of the ball should be allowed at the very least to train at Ezeiza with the senior players. And learn from players in Santiago’s case Mascherano.

Pity is also doing well at River along with Driussi and Alario. The first two seem to be maturing and showing the talent they had in the junior divisions. Alario seems to thrive under pressure. He and Icardi I would pencil in for the nine role. Goodbye to the choker.

PS Nice to see some of the old WC Blog posters still here. I was Aurelius. 😉

as of this moment, i believe dybala is as equal as putting both kun and pipita together in the team.
and as of now, i don’t care who’s going to be the number 9, as i don’t see bauza calling icardi anytime soon.
